BLACK ATLANTIC AND INTERSECTIONALITY: THE SEARCH AND PROMOTION OF CAPILLARY HEALTH THROUGH NATURAL COSMETOLOGY IN THE FEDERAL DISTRICT
Black women. Natural cosmetics. Ancestry. Hair health.
In the transit between Natural Sciences and Social Science, the work aims to discuss the importance of rescuing the ancestry of black women in the search and promotion of capillary health in the Federal District through natural cosmetology. It also aims to understand whether, in combating racism in the cosmetic industry, salons specializing in curly and curly hair, together with black cosmetologists, propose, in some way, the applicability of effective public policies in dialogue with Law 10.639/2003, which establishes the mandatory teaching of "Afro-Brazilian history and culture" within the analyzed social and cultural spaces.
In order to occupy a place in the narrative dispute, intersectionality, the methodological tool coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw (1989) and brought by Carla Akotirene (2019) is present throughout the research in order to analyze the life stories and the cultural impact and social on black resistance and ancestry in the Federal District.
For this reason, according to Sueli Carneiro (2005) and Carla Akotirene (2019), we prioritize, in this work, researching and using mainly black authors as a theoretical reference, since the resistance of black Brazilian people occurs through the struggle for ways of enunciation of knowledge, for recognition as producers of knowledge, and search for alternatives that guarantee longevity, quality of life, right to voice and political decisions.
